What Does The Bible Say About Healthy Living?

What does the Bible say about healthy living?
This video explains what healthy living means according to scripture!



Today, I want to answer the question that comes up quite often. What does the Bible say about healthy living? This is a very important question, because it means we're looking for the truth. And that's what I'm going to share with you today.

Well, when we ask yourself, What does the Bible say about healthy living, it says a lot from a Genesis with the tree in the garden and the deed bearing fruit, and all the way to Revelation where we have the heat the leaves of the tree, which are healing for the nation.

So we've got our bookends, we've got Genesis, and we've got Revelation. Now we need to pull from the middle to gather the seeds, the nuts, the fruits, the vegetables to see what does the Bible say about healthy living? Well, remember back in Genesis in Genesis one God creates, and when he creates each day, he says, It is good. And good means in the original language of that scripture, it means excellent of its kind, valuable in estimation.

That means there's nothing that man can ever make, or try to make put together in a lab that's going to compare or compete with what God has given us. And so Scripture teaches us right away that not only is what he created, good, everything about the Earth is good. But we are good, we are excellent. The food he had given us is excellent, and his love and mercy is excellent.

So from the beginning, we know that healthy living is part of his plan. Otherwise, why would He create us this way? Why would he create our body to heal. And then that takes us into Exodus, and Exodus 15:26. It says, and I just want to make sure I'm reading this correctly. If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God, and you do what is right in his eyes. And if you pay attention to his commands, and keep all of his decree, and then get, I will not put on you any of the diseases. I brought on the Egyptians. And then here we go, here's the climax, for I am the Lord who heals you.

He cannot say he healed us. If our body was not designed to heal, he cannot say he healed us if he's not a God, who heals. So we start with this is what I've created for you. This is good. This is how you should eat. This is how you should live. And then he moves into excess. He says, Just watch me pay attention to me, I am the Lord who heals you.

In Deuteronomy 8, there is a list the seven foods. And then he says, and then you will be satisfied. And you will praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. God has given us a good land too. Now I know that some of you are in lands that are like, hey, and it is not that good here. I get that we don't all live in the Garden of Eden. And probably none of us do. We all have struggles, we have difficulties, we have financial strain, we have food that we can't figure out where to get that good. Yet the good land that he has given you. Yes, we're not going into the Promised Land, per se has, he provided it, but we are still within his hands. And that is our good land. We are within his in his purpose.

So he said so that you will be satisfied for the good land that I have given you that we go from what he has provided to how he has instructed us to live and how he has taught us to in our heart to be satisfied with what He has given us.

April 6th 2023 will be one year since my doc told me that no longer do I just have high cholesterol (230), high sugar (resting glucose 113), and was obese but I also had kidneys that might be going bad with an EGFR of 59.1. That EGFR had dropped 16 points from the prior year and 7 points the year before. I had 6 months before they wanted to test again to see if I had chronic kidney disease. The fall before this blood work I had covid and struggled badly with it. While I wasn't hospitalized it took me a good week to function much at all. Then long covid hit. My fibromyalgia flared up, I was getting cold sores really bad and I hadn't had one in YEARS before that. My skin hurt. I'm fairly certain my dormant Epstein Barr was awake too. I told my husband I felt like I was being spiritually attacked. After that appointment last year I prayed real hard. I asked God to help me live better and to heal me if He saw fit. I told him I will accept if I have issues that I caused myself with this sin and will just have to live with but I will do my best to repent of these ways and the rest was in his hands. 6 months later I had gone from 230 pounds at 5'7" to 174 pounds. My cholesterol went down to 188, my resting glucose went to 96, and my kidney function JUMPED to and EGFR of 84! 2 years before that appointment my eGFR was 74! That was more of an improvement than I could have asked for. In a few more days here I will go back for my 1 year check up. I now weight 158.8. As of today I am at a health scale BMI Of 24.9. I am excited to see what my labs show. Has my resting glucose improved even more? Has my cholesterol improved? Is there a chance my kidneys improved? I am most curious about my kidneys. To lose all that weight I gave up cream and sugar in my coffee for the most part. I drank coffee day in and day out. I hardly ever drank water but I started drinking 64 ounces most days. I stopped drinking energy drinks and rarely ever drink a soda. I cut out most processed and boxed foods. I eat more chicken and fish, veggies and fruit... Greek yogurt is a thing in my house now! I have a garden that I grow veggies and fruit in when the seasons permit. We have chickens for eggs....I keep busy around our farm and home can foods. Limited carbs but didn't eliminate them. Bread can't be that bad if the Bible mentions it constantly! But God does heal if we repent. Some damage can not be undone though. I will have loose skin for the rest of my life. My kidneys might never been 100 percent again. But they are the best they can be at this time.The best part is that my fibromyalgia pain has gone so far down and health has gone so far up that my husband and I are asking God for a baby now. I would not have considered a baby last year. I was too tired and hurt way too much. I felt like I was dying at 38 years old. If I had kept on that road, my sins would have disabled me within only a few years. In an odd way, I thank God for what covid did in my life. Had I been healthy (not obese and pre-diabetic) I likely wouldnt have suffered as I did through covid. I don't ever want to be that volunerable again. Being healthy protects us from illnesses that might present themselves. It gives us a shield against the sicknesses that show up. Some things are in our control and some things are not but thise things we leave in God's hands. God is merciful and loving and means us good not harm. If only we'd stop being like a rebellious child and listen before it's too late for our health and/or our souls.

Please help! My husband and I started the carnivore diet a month ago Ms. We recently found out that our blood pressure is elevated; his to the point of medication. I have researched extensively and everyone claims their “diet” heals all that stuff; the vegans, the carnivore, Paleo, keto. I am more confused about my diet and what we should eat than I have ever been! I have prayed and asked God to show me what is safe to eat to nurture our bodies and save our health. Thanks

Hello!😊I thank God for this information, and for what you're sharing. I have been seeking God so much for deliverance of health issues in my body that have been going on since I had covid more than a yr ago, and also issues with anxiety and fear. I'm so thankful for all the verses that you spoke out they really did bring tears to my eyes and help me see more clearly. God bless you!!❤✝️👍

NLT
EXODUS 15:26

26 He said, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the LORD who heals you.”

I’m curious what you would say to someone that, regardless of knowing a food has been tainted, they would ignore that because they believe the scripture that says that they can eat poisonous things and it will not harm them. (specifically, knowing that filtered water from the refrigerator has been shown to have mold in the filters even when it’s new.)

Or doing things like having breast implants when they’ve been proven to cause cancer.

[christinedavies]

Anette, could you advise on Rhodiola rosea please

[LavenderValley]
